Pupils design look of new multi-million pound Bolton technical college

YOUNG people with designs on success unveiled their ideas for Bolton’s new multi-million technical college.

Pupils stepped into the dragons’ den to present their ideas of what the soon to be developed University Technical College Bolton (UTC) could look like to a panel of judges — in a bid to win their school £10,000.

He said: “We are looking for originality and innovation from the presentations. They have done well to get this far, but we will be looking for something a little out of the ordinary to secure the main prize.”

Cllr Shaw was joined on the judging panel by the former High Sheriff of Manchester and architect, Christian Wewer; Bolton architect, Neil Pike; Architectural Technology Course Leader, Nooshin Akrami and Fine Art Senior Lecturer, Alan Buckingham.

Mr Wewer said: “We will welcome ideas and concepts such as sustainability and interesting use of space.”
